Amren here is giving me Duke Perrington vibes

She is not even saying he could make pyrthian a better place. She is saying no one will stand against him with that sort of power.

more reasons nessian should never have children we all know cassian chooses rhysand over nesta all day every day imagine the COMPLEX it would give you growing up to know your father is more loyal to your “uncle” than you and your mother. that is diabolical. that’s viserys targaryen levels of fatherhood fuckups.

why are we questioning me when we should be questioning rhysand

(this wasnt on any of my posts it just popped up on my tl and it made me laugh)

You know what?

I get it, ok? I understand the concept of Rhysand being a morally grey character. I understand that SJM wanted him to be an anti-hero of sorts. I would be totally okay with him doing everything that he did and standing by his actions if he simply said “The only thing that concerns me is myself, my circle and my people. I’m here to protect my interests first and everything else second. I am no hero, I am just someone who puts himself and his sphere first. I am a selfish person and I’m totally okay with that. I do not need anyone’s approval.” I still wouldn’t be his biggest fan, because I do not tend to admire self serving people, but I would totally understand him. In fact, I might have done the same thing. I guess you can never know for sure what your reaction to something would be unless you actually end up in that situation. I get that the average person would protect themselves (themselves = them and their loved ones) but I do believe that admiration should be saved for people who go against the norm. People who actually put their foot down, say no, protest, fight back, risk their lives, experience loss for a greater good. That’s why I admire Khalias, Tarquin, Helion, Tamlin etc. Because they stood up to Amarantha while knowing the consequences of their actions. I wouldn’t admire Rhysand, but I’d support him if he just owned up to his shit and said “Yup, I’m your average person, I don’t care if I come off as the bad guy!”.

But he does not! He wants everyone to applaud him and thank him and feel like they owe him and appreciate him and and and and… Jesus Christ man, you did the bare minimum and you did it all when you had nothing to lose! Thank you so much that you convinced that frigid bitch to murder two dozens of children instead of me and my family, of course I am now forever in your debt! Relax. You were able to talk Amarantha out of directly harming the other High Lords only after you harmed others to gain her favour and you saved the High Lords only because it served you better to keep them alive instead of some irrelevant children fae. I’m sure that your people should be thanking you because you did it all for them after all, but count me the fuck out of it.

Last but not least: ACOTAR Feyre was, obviously, a hero. She was a morally good character. She sacrificed herself for people she didn’t even know. I’m not gonna debate that. I actually loved her in the first book. However, I think she went through a drastic change after her metamorphosis. Her “human heart” is actually no longer human to say the least. I’m not even gonna elaborate on how she became this cruel, unforgiving person that only cared about how people treated her, or how disrespectful she is towards other people like Tarquin because Rhysand made her feel entitled to do so, or how she is responsible for the destruction of two courts that simply seemed like collateral damage if it meant that she would get her revenge on Tamlin. I’m simply going to say that logically speaking, since Feyre stands 100% besides Rhys and everything he did and supports him, she’s also a morally grey person AT BEST, though I do tend to think of both of them as villains because after all, the very definition of a villain is “someone defined by their acts of selfishness, evilness, arrogance, cruelty, and cunning” and like, come on, this screams Feysand.

The term morally grey is so overused. Someone who’s selfish and cunning and cares mostly about themselves is, at least partially, a bad person. A morally grey character is at least half a villain. When did we actually start to equate anti heros with heros?

“So Tamlin was right about my safety but it doesn’t excuse ANYTHING” I was actually hoping that both Feyre and Rhysand would perish when she was giving birth, ngl.

Idk man maybe something like " I am sorry but it was necessary" would have been nice.

Zuko having a connection to the spirit world but instead of it being something deep and profound, it’s just because he spent three years pre-finding the avatar running towards the first weird magical shit he saw.

[spacerockfloater]

Too real.

And then there were three! Three roses are the traditional way of saying "I love you," thus they are a perfect symbolization Feylin's most famous quote: "I love you, thorns and all." Today's poll lands a bit on the unconventional side, though, and wants to know,

[spacerockfloater]

Feylin was endgame material through and through. ACOMAF is a Feylin hater fanfic.

[spacerockfloater]

No I say that because all of her '"friends" and "chosen family" were willing to keep crucial medical information from her and are only kind to her because Rhysand likes her...

[spacerockfloater]

could you imagine being a little girl growing up in hewn city and Mor’s in charge and you hear about her engagement and her escape and you think finally someone understands what’s happening to me and there’s proof that you can get out that things can get better and not only that but she’s in charge!! the high lord’s third in command and she’s the queen of hewn city, he said so. surely she will do something. surely she understands how you feel. and then being sent off to your forced marriage and all she does is show up every time and intimidate people as nothing more than the high lord’s lackey and then everything stays the same for a hundred years. then two hundred. then three…

HELP

i read HOTD discourse and kept reading TG as Targaryen 😭😭

[spacerockfloater]

“Tell me when you knew,” (Lucien) demanded, his knee pressing into mine. “That Rhysand was your mate. Tell me when you stopped loving Tamlin and started loving him instead.” I chose not to answer. “Was it going on before you even left?” I whipped my head to him, even if I could barely make out his features in the dark. “I never touched Rhysand like that until months later.” “You kissed Under the Mountain.” “I had as little choice in that as I did in the dancing.” “And yet this is the male you now love.”

And yet this is the male you now love.

And yet this is the male you now love.

And yet this is the male you now love.

Smth that makes me laugh is that you either hate nesta archeron's guts with your whole being, I mean hate posts, death threats and all that jazz, or you worship the ground she walks on, I mean demigod type shit. There's no in-between.

[spacerockfloater]

A lot of pro-Tamlin's seem to want Feyre to get back together with him, but Feyre herself is also a toxic person, or at the very least someone who doesn't know what they want, so in the end I think their relationship would fail regardless

Give my man a spring court citizen who was deeply affected by Feyre's rampage so she works to rebuild it and helps the other people of the court. Tamlin finds her and is inspired by her leadership, so he enlists her to help him delegate with the Spring Court. She readily accepts because she's always wished to be able to do more. After a while they develop feelings for each other and they help each other heal from their pasts and promise to make the Spring Court flourish together.

Okay I may or may not now do this with Astraea (minus the spring court citizen part, and she'll probably have other lovers too idk)

[spacerockfloater]

I don't really care if someone is pro-Rhysand until they start trying to jump down the throats of everyone who dislikes him

Because on the surface level, I can see the appeal

But the second you dig into the text to actually analyze it and you come out still liking him, half the time worshipping the ground he walks on, then attacking people who don't like him????
